BRIDGEPORT - A Bridgeport man who allegedly tried to rape and kill an elderly Stratford woman went before a judge today.

Police say 24-year-old Jose Enrique Correa choked and restrained the 89-year-old victim as he tried to sexually assault her. They say the incident took place in front of her Canaan Road home last Thursday.

Court records say that Correa got the elderly woman on the ground and at one point was masturbating on top of her. Officers arrested Correa in Bridgeport Tuesday.
